Late-night eating spikes nighttime glucose and insulin, elevates heart rate and core temperature, and disrupts deep sleep.

“Eating late is asking the body to do two things at the same time: digest food and run sleep processes. This creates a body traffic jam.”

“now one is eating food too late now for example let's say your bed time is 10 p.m. and at 9:00 p.m. in the middle of your favorite episode you decide that eating a piece of pizza is a good idea and then one piece of pizza turns into the whole pizza in that moment several bad things happen one is your body has to spin up all kinds of metabolic activity to address this food it must digest that's challenging you have a blood glucose Spike when that happens and then once you have that it drops so you have this blood glucose fluctuation you also have a disruption of melatonin production where your body says I want to get ready for bed and now that's off the rails so it disrupts the entire process the body is expecting as you ready yourself for sleep so don't do that”
